Teacher

Hey guys do you think I can be a health and social care sixth form teacher with a pgce in social science

Possibly, yes. Health and social care is often not taught by a specialist.

However, health and social care alone will not fill a full timetable, so if you want to be able to teach full time, you'd need to offer another subject.

Not necessarily. It depends on the school and it’s uptake. Also, if you take on additional leadership responsibilities, that will fill your timetable too

I did HSC in college. From what i know, the teachers i had, had a full timetable made up of BTEC L2 and BTEC L3 classes.

A state secondary with that level of uptake wouldn't usually have all classes taught by one teacher, due to the problems caused if that teacher then had to take time off suddenly with e.g. sickness.

I have never known a school to pre-empt sickness related staffing issues in the way you describe here. I agree that HSC teachers in schools usually would have a second subject, but that is because there aren’t usually enough HSC hours to fill a timetable and not because of sickness contingency planning.

Colleges are different, and they will usually look to employ specialists with experience in the industry.

Do you think PGCE social science is speciist experience
